Abstract:
Penelitian ini disebut sebagai proses pembebasan pendidikan akuntansi karena pendidikan akuntansi cenderung kaku dan terlalu berorientasi pada buku teks. Peneliti menyajikan sebuah metode pembelajaran yang diadaptasi dari penelitian Chabrak dan Craig (2013) dengan film “Sherlock Holmes: the Game of Death”sebagai media pendukung. Dalam proses ini, peserta didik berada dalam nuansa “giving” melalui imajinasi, perilaku disonansi serta berpikir kritis. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi transendental, jiwa Sherlock Holmes (seharusnya) di tubuh akuntan adalah temuan tak terbantahkan dalam proses pembebasan.

Abstract:
Abstract This article addresses access to high-quality education under a neoliberal mentality. It engages at both the discursive and material levels, by mapping how taken-for-granted truths about neoliberal policies circulate through the media. The media—newspapers, network channels, and news websites—have correlated quality education with socioeconomic status, which have effects of power in the fabrication of the productive citizen and low-performer, and in the perpetuation of the “class/room”. The unexpected deceitfulness of numbers operates as a rhizomatic regime of truths, conducting our ways of being and acting in the world. This analysis takes numbers as an actor to challenge the apparent representative and descriptive nature of standardized assessment outcomes, and the idea that competition, freedom of choice, and accountability are a means of securing equity, inclusion, and economic growth. The novels of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, particularly those featuring the fictional character Sherlock Holmes, and the Sherlock Holmes adaptations portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch in the TV series “Sherlock” have inspired the narrative of this story. Sherlock’s mind palace—a feature added to Holmes’ personality in the TV series—is put to great use in the narrative of this article.

Abstract:
El personaje de Sherlock Holmes se ha convertido en una figura de dimensiones universales capaz de adaptarse a diferentes contextos a través de diferentes manifestaciones artísticas. Semejante vigencia se manifiesta, entre otras cosas, en el constante trasvase transficcional del universo diegético creado por Conan Doyle a otras obras literarias y a medios como el cine, el cómic, la televisión o los videojuegos. Sin ánimo de exhaustividad, y asumiendo que las dimensiones del corpus de obras surgidas a partir de los textos originales de Conan Doyle son prácticamente inabarcables, el artículo intentará ofrecer una tipología de las prácticas reescriturales que han tomado como referencia a Sherlock Holmes en los ámbitos literario y audiovisual en España. The character of Sherlock Holmes has become a figure of universal dimensions capable of adapting to different contexts through different art forms. This relevance is manifested by means of the constant and transficcional transfer of the diegetic universe created by Conan Doyle to literature and other media like movies, comics, television or video games. Without being exhaustive, and assuming that the size of the corpus of works arising from the original texts of Conan Doyle are virtually boundless, the article will attempt to provide a typology of reescriturales practices that have taken as a reference to Sherlock Holmes in the literary fields and audiovisual in Spain.

Abstract:
During the Second World War Universal Pictures produced three key Sherlock Holmes films. In each of these pictures, released in 1942 and 1943, Holmes was appropriated for the war effort. The Great Detective was transposed into wartime London where, in effect, he became the ultimate counter-intelligence agent who foiled the plots of Nazi infiltrators and sympathisers. The films retooled Holmes from his detective origins and place him into the spy genre, as was required for maximum propaganda value. Three key propaganda themes emerged from the films: first, that Britain was engaged in a ‘People's War’ in which Holmes was able to emerge victorious thanks to the contributions and assistance of ordinary members of the British public; second, that the public needed to be vigilant against the threat posed by Nazi agents and fifth columnists; third, that the USA and Britain were bound together by mutual respect and cultural ties and that collaboration between the two powers would achieve victory. Each of these themes was key to the British propaganda effort and emerged as a staple trope in British media. The Holmes films had, however, been produced by an American studio in Hollywood. Nevertheless, the American film-makers were typically able to produce successful ‘British’ propaganda pieces, drawing upon British propaganda tropes, which succeeded on both sides of the Atlantic. That success did not necessarily lie in the films' artistic merits – in fact, they were regularly savaged by critics in that respect – but because their propaganda messages were sufficiently subtle that they were rarely noted upon at all.

Abstract:
Since the late nineteenth century, Western intellectuals have tended to depict ‘modernity’ as being incompatible with ‘enchantment’. Thus Max Weber argued that two aspects intrinsic to modernity, rationalization and bureaucratization, were inimical to the magical attitudes toward human existence that characterized medieval and early modern thought. His gloomy image of the ‘iron cage’ of reason echoed the fears of earlier romantics and was to be repeated by later cultural pessimists through the twentieth century. This article recovers a different outlook that emerged during the fin-de-siècle, one that reconciled the rational and secular tenets of modernity with enchantment and that underlies many forms of contemporary cultural practice. The popularity of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes is taken as an exemplary instance of a specifically modern form of enchantment. First, Holmes's own form of rationalism, ‘animistic reason’, offered an alternative to the narrower instrumental reason that cultural pessimists claimed as a defining element of modernity. Second, many adult readers at the turn of the century and beyond were able to pretend that Holmes was real, and his creator fictitious, through the ‘ironic imagination’, a more capacious and playful understanding of the imagination than that held by the early Victorians. Both animistic reason and the ironic imagination made Holmes an iconic figure who enacted and represented the reconciliation of modernity and enchantment, whereas Doyle, unable to accept this reconciliation, resorted to spiritualism, a holdover of ‘premodern’ enchantment.

Abstract:
In 1893, overwhelmed by readers' insatiability for Sherlock Holmes stories, Arthur Conan Doyle killed his detective off at the height of his popularity. Writing to a friend in 1896, Doyle described how literally sick he was of the figure he had created: “I have had such an overdose of him that I feel towards him as I do towards pâté de foie gras, of which I once ate too much, so that the name of it gives me a sickly feeling to this day” (Chabon 17). Holmes's (first) literary demise was marked by his creator with a culinary simile, one which recalls that his literary debut was made under the name that, above all others, stood for the culinary in late nineteenth-century Britain: Isabella Beeton. The first Sherlock Holmes story, “A Study in Scarlet,” appeared in the 1887 edition of Beeton's Christmas Annual. Three other editors had rejected the story before the Beeton Annual accepted it. This Doyle-Beeton publishing encounter was an instance of one publishing phenomenon recognizing another one and ushering it into the limelight. When Doyle's reflections on his huge publishing success turn to a gustatory memory of overindulgence in a purposefully overdeveloped organ, it raises the following question: what were the relationships between the mass market, the culinary, and the production and adjudication of judgment and refinement in the nineteenth century?

Abstract:
In three of Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories there are brief appearances of the Baker Street Irregulars, a group of ‘street Arabs’ who help Holmes with his investigations. These children have been re-imagined in modern children's literature in at least twenty-seven texts in a variety of media and with writers from both Britain and the United States. All these modern stories show a marked upward shift in the class of the Irregulars away from the lower working class of Conan-Doyle's originals. The shift occurs through attributing middle-class origins to the leaders of the Irregulars, through raising the class of the Irregulars in general, and through giving the children life environments more comfortable, safe, and financially secure than would have been possible for late-Victorian street children. Because of the variety in texts and writers, it is argued that this shift is not a result of the conscious political or ideological positions of individual writers, but rather reflects common unconscious narrative choices. The class-shift is examined in relation to the various pressures of conventions in children's literature, concepts of audience, and common concepts of class in society.

Full text
Abstract:
This study examines changes over time in 40 different Sherlock Holmes films and 39 television series and movies spanning from 1900 to 2017. Quantitative observations were mixed with a qualitative examination. Perceptions of law enforcement became more positive over time, the types of crime did not vary, and representation of race and gender improved over time with incrementally positive changes in the representation of queer, mentally ill, and physically handicapped individuals. The exact nature of these trends is discussed. Additionally, the trends of different decades are explored and compared. Sherlock Holmes is mostly used as a vehicle for storytelling rather than for the salacious crimes that he solves, making the identification of perceptions of crime in different decades difficult. The reasons for why different Sherlock Holmes projects were created in different eras and for different purposes are discussed.

Abstract:
By using adaptation theory and Linda Hutcheon’s depiction of adapters in the process of adaptation as “first interpreters and then creators” (18), this article argues how the original Sherlock Holmes illustrations, penciled most notably by Sidney Paget, are both a canonical element of the Holmes legacy and themselves an adaptation. This creates a means of exploring why and how the television show Sherlock Holmes (1984-1994), developed by Granada Television, uses the original Holmes illustrations as a source of adaptation to create the appearance of fidelity to Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories. Being faithful to the Holmes stories is not a common adaptation practice. Granada’s Holmes chooses to be faithful to the original illustrations and to the Victorian era, not so much to be unique among Holmes adaptations but to be similar to the 1980s heritage cinema trend of faithfully adapting English literature. Heritage cinema, as Andrew Higson states, is a “potent marketing of the past” (1), and through its propensity to adapt literature faithfully to a past time period, heritage cinema reflects a cultural desire for national nostalgia in 1980s Britain. In the case of Granada’s Holmes, this tactic turns Sherlock Holmes into both financial and cultural capital. By being seemingly faithful to the original illustrations, Granada’s Holmes is left vulnerable to the kinds of fidelity or comparative criticisms that adaptation scholars often denounce. Adaptation studies criticizes efforts to compare the source text to the adaptation, saying it will inevitably lead to privileging the source text. Through my investigation, however, I argue that there is a need to use forms of fidelity criticism in order to more fully explore the reasons why Granada’s Holmes hinges its success around fidelity to the original Holmes illustrations.

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to examine the British television series Sherlock with a genre and narration analysis and to examine how the classic detective genre has developed in terms of narration and to connect it with changes in the contemporary society. The main questions are how the material coincide and differentiate with the original genre the classic detective story as well as the postmodern genre the conspiracy thriller. The methods used are genre and narrative analysis in an attempt to position the narrative of the material within the detective story genres traditional narrative. The analysis is based on functionalist theory about the functions of media texts, genre and narrative theory as well as postmodern theory. The premise is the view on texts as symbolic actions, and the hermeneutic task to disclose that symbolism. The findings of the paper is that Sherlock contain a high amount of intertextuality and join both the classic detective and the conspiracy thriller. The evolution of the genre can be accredited to changes in society’s conflicts and ideals, which in the modern era of the classic detective were questions of class society, a new judicial system and the decline of organized religion and in contemporary society are questions of globalization, infinite networks and conspiracies.

Abstract:
Chapter two investigates an overlooked archive of tobacco ephemera, the smoke-room booklets, cigarette cards, and periodicals meant to be consumed by men while smoking. Tobacco-related poems, pictures, and print forms produced a self-referential discourse that compared smoking to consuming print, through puns on “leaves,” “volumes,” and “puffs” of speech preserved in paper. Through the medium of smoke, mass print self-consciously began to mediate fantasy, mental relaxation, and reverie. The most famous nineteenth-century literary smoker, Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, figures this addictive dependency on print in his iconic pipe. His media “addiction” – really a reliance on obscure information – reflects readers’ desire for encyclopedic knowledge. Such desires for cultural mastery drove the popularity of cigarette cards, which featured trivia, and became a staple of working- and middle-class life from their invention in the 1890s. Reframing Holmes as the first “information addict,” the chapter tells the back story of our current intensified appetite for information in a knowledge economy governed by mass media.

Abstract:
Arthur J. Raffles, fictional ‘cracksman’ by night and England cricketing star by day, burst onto the literary scene in 1898. Created by Ernest William Hornung, brother-in-law of Sherlock Holmes’ author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Raffles was Holmes’ antithesis: the fun-loving master thief. Embodying the ‘pleasure culture’ surrounding the burglar, Raffles’ physical attractiveness and athleticism blurred the lines between moral virtue and romantic allure. As the original novels were continually remade in theatre and film and their characters reincarnated in those media, newspapers began to label real burglars ‘Raffles’. This chapter examines how, where criminality was concerned, distinguishing between fact and fiction presented unnecessary (and unheeded) complications to commercial success. Espying an opportunity, ex-criminals appropriated this sympathetic ‘Raffles’ title for themselves, using the idea of ‘real-life Raffles’ to fashion glamorous celebrity personae through lucrative autobiographical writings. The character became an international phenomenon, beloved by audiences across Europe and America who flocked to see his exploits at the cinema and continually identified the burglar as an English ‘hero’, akin to Robin Hood. Yet Raffles was no philanthropist. Keeping the jewels for himself and glorifying in escaping capture by police, Raffles was a figure of danger for many contemporaries, who identified the longevity of his success as a harbinger of popular unrest caused by economic depression that might seduce generations of young people into a life of crime. The chapter historicizes how cultural responses to romanticized versions of burglary were conditioned by critiques of poverty and the habits of the wealthy.

Abstract:
The 1970s saw a mass exodus of younger, artistically ambitious directors from moviemaking for the big screen into TV. Among the beneficiaries of the new medium was Igor Maslennikov, who had struggled to establish himself as more than “promising.” Maslennikov’s TV adaptations of Sherlock Holmes rapidly made him one of the most famous filmmakers in the USSR. The main subject of this chapter, however, is an adaptation for “quality TV” of a different kind, The Queen of Spades, by Russia’s most famous writer, Alexander Pushkin. Where Maslennikov’s Conan Doyle adaptations were studiedly casual (The Hound of the Baskervilles is an exercise in playful eccentricity rather than a plunge into Victorian Gothic), his reworking of Pushkin went precisely in the other direction. This “hyperauthentic” interpretation of the Russian author sought to retain “every last comma” in the original, right down to scene-setting commentaries presented by an on-screen narrator. As this chapter argues, had it not been for the exceptionally vexed history of attempts to film The Queen of Spades (Maslennikov was the fourth director selected to make the movie), his “hyperauthentic” approach might have proved more controversial. Whichever way, the adaptation more closely resembles late modernist films of the era such as Eric Rohmer’s The Marquise of O than the conventional literary adaptations of the later Soviet era, which came from a tradition where reconstructing the source text was the accepted norm.
